- LimeChain is now in charge of GiantSquid, a tool that helps find data in the Polkadot system.
- They created a report about their work and talked to users to gather feedback.
- Based on this feedback, they have a new plan called "Phase 2 for Giant Squid."
- Phase 2 includes new features like making it easier to find cross-chain transfers and track staking and voting.
- They will also make a new table to show all account events at once, which will be easier to use.
- They are asking for **169,520 USDC** to help pay for the new features and other costs.
- Feedback from the community is very welcome, and they hope to turn it into a treasury proposal.

Executed

With <a href="618">Referendum #618</a>, LimeChain took over the development and maintanance of GiantSquid (fka as Subsquid), which is an indexing tool in the Polkadot ecosystem, providing access to on-chain data in the form of GraphQL gateways. Since then, we have delivered on the treasury proposal, proactively talked to users and ecosystem members, and published a detailed delivery report. More details on community feedback can be found in the progress report of <a href="618">Referendum #618</a> .
Based on user feedback, we&rsquo;ve scoped out a list of upgrades in a new proposal which we&rsquo;re calling a &ldquo;Phase 2 for Giant Squid&rdquo;.The full proposal document for Giant Squid Phase 2 can be read <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FkQY0erT2LsLbK03-AnJ9RrRnFDVtPxI/edit?usp=sharing&amp;ouid=113946912904115479410&amp;rtpof=true&amp;sd=true">here in google docs</a>.
TLDR:
In Phase 2 we plan to implement XCM transaction indexing, making cross-chain transfers easily searchable. By indexing nomination pools and conviction voting, we enable detailed tracking of staking and governance participation. A new &ldquo;History Elements&rdquo; table will consolidate all account-related events into a single dataset, simplifying queries for wallets and applications. Staking analytics will be improved with APR calculations and validator selection insights. NFT indexing will allow users to retrieve owned assets, while a feasibility study will explore cross-chain NFT tracking. Additionally, we will research real-time mempool indexing to provide better transaction visibility before finalization. Giant Squid will also boast a new homepage that greatly improves usability. These upgrades will make Giant Squid a more powerful and user-friendly indexer for the ecosystem.
The total treasury request for this proposal is 169,520 USDC, of which 94,520 are development costs and 75,000 are estimated infrastructure costs from March 2025 till December 2025 inclusive. The infrastructure estimation is based on historical infrastructure expenses (currently at about $7.5k a month)&nbsp; + an usage growth assumption from the delivery of Phase 2 onwards. The infrastructure up until now is being covered with remaining funds from <a href="618">Referendum #618</a>.
Any additional feedback or ideas for the upgrade of GiantSquid are greatly appreciated. We would love to hear the community feedback on this and potentially move it to a treasury proposal.

Giant Squid Phase 2

- WAGOI is a new app that helps car owners control their vehicle data.
- Most cars are connected, but drivers currently have no access to their important data.
- WAGOI will use blockchain technology to make sure vehicle data is safe and trusted.
- It will allow drivers to share and earn money from their data.
- WAGOI is the first app on the Polkadot platform to handle vehicle data.
- The European Union will make it a law for drivers to access their car data by 2025, which helps WAGOI's mission.
- WAGOI is supported by an expert team with experience in cars and blockchain technology.

Rejected

WAGOI will be the first DePin app for vehicle data on the Polkadot Hub (Asset Hub)
Problem 
96% of all cars are connected, yet drivers have zero control over their own data. Car manufacturers monetize this data, with projections estimating a $750 billion market. With the EU Data Act (Nov 2025) mandating that consumers must have access to their vehicle data, the industry is at a tipping point. Car manufacturers will no longer be gatekeepers, creating a massive opportunity for a decentralized solution like WAGOI. Solution 
WAGOI empowers vehicle owners to reclaim control over their vehicle data. It enables drivers to securely manage, share, and monetize their data while ensuring compliance with EU regulations like the EU Data Act and GDPR. WAGOI provides blockchain-based provenance for vehicle data, ensuring verifiable and tamper-proof records. We combine Self-Sovereign Identities (SSI) with machine identity DIDs and at the same time, we will be using AssetHub for smart contracts.
Key Advantages for Polkadot
<ol>
<li>WAGOI will be the first Polkadot-powered DePIN for vehicle data, using the new AssetHub</li>
<li>WAGOI aligns with EU regulations, ensuring long-term sustainability and trust, which is crucial for enterprise adoption.</li>
<li>WAGOI&rsquo;s marketplace will generate significant value for drivers, stakeholders, and the Polkadot ecosystem.</li>
<li>By partnering with major car brands and mobility stakeholders, WAGOI will drive enterprise-level adoption of Polkadot&rsquo;s technology.</li>
</ol>
Why support this Proposal?
<ul>
<li>WAGOI is set to disrupt the $750 billion vehicle data market by giving control back to drivers and breaking down data monopolies held by car manufacturers.</li>
<li>With the EU Data Act coming into force end of 2025, WAGOI aims to be the first to market, capitalizing on the regulatory shift and establishing itself as the go-to platform for vehicle data ownership.</li>
<li>Supporting WAGOI will enhance Polkadot&rsquo;s visibility and adoption in the automotive and mobility sectors, showcasing its capabilities in handling real-world, regulated use cases. </li>
</ul>
More information
Our project, including our first milestone &amp; budget (282K), is written down in detail in attached document <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WR211n11WR8jpGxITJi5ulEmLpeWaL3SVV4D1_1dLdw/edit?pli=1&amp;tab=t.0">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WR211n11WR8jpGxITJi5ulEmLpeWaL3SVV4D1_1dLdw/edit?pli=1&amp;tab=t.0</a>
I know&hellip; the document is 20 pages long. And yes, some parts&mdash;like the legislation&mdash;might feel a bit dry. But in our case, it&rsquo;s crucial. Without regulations like the EU Data Act, our business case wouldn&rsquo;t even exist&hellip;
 WAGOI has firmly established itself as a key player in the automotive industry, proudly standing alongside industry giants as a member of FISITA and contributing to INATBA and MyData. We have a strong foundation in both automotive and blockchain. Mario Schraepen, a serial entrepreneur with over 7 years of experience in the automotive sector, is the founder. As a distinguished alumnus of the PBA in Hong Kong, founder of PolkaBiz, and an active contributor to the Polkadot ecosystem, Mario brings a wealth of expertise and a proven track record of innovation.
We believe this is the perfect business use case to show the world&mdash;and the EU regulators&mdash;that blockchain isn&rsquo;t just for speculation. It&rsquo;s for real-world solutions ! And with the EU Data Act taking effect in November 2025, I think this is a rare opportunity to leverage regulation to our advantage.
